There are no bad jobs, says Flaherty - Canada - CBC News
As long as the government provides the necessary trades or professional training for the jobs needed, I'm with Flaherty on this one.
The opposition calls his position insulting. I don't know, maybe he said something I'm unaware of, but I see nothing too insulting in the article except maybe he could have worded it better to clarify he's not necessarily blaming the unemployed for being unemployed, but merely saying we'll help them get back into the workforce.
I'm sorry but if there are too many computer software developers for the jobs available, then he takes the job at Tim Hortons and does not just sit on his laurels waitng for the computer software development industry to pick up again.
In fact, you never know, working at Tim hortons might give him some new ideas as to how to create some kind of software Tim Hortons could use!
If anything, she just insulted all Tim Hortons employees. Does Pggy Nash look down on restaurant workers? Which riding is she in? I bet her constituents will appreciate that.
And agriculturalists are to be looked down upon too it would seem according to Peggy Nash. Oh her constituents will grill her on that one!
Now as for relocating, I would not require that unless the employer has guaranteed a job and is willing to pay moving costs. But should that happen, then yes they should be required to accept it.
As long as government funding for training and employers pay moving, I think his comments are fair enough.
Any thoughts on this?
I'm sure flaherty's constituents will be happy to hear his praise of all workers and not just those in "ideal jobs".

But NDP critic Peggy Nash said Canadians should be concerned about what appears to be a hard line taken from the finance minister.
"If you are a computer software developer, will you be working at Tim Hortons? If you are an unemployed teacher or nurse, will you be working in the agricultural sector picking fruit?" she asked.
